Where to get the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3

The main ways to get the Tri-Beam laser rifle is to find it as floor or chest loot or eliminate an enemy wielding one. While this is luck-dependent, you’ll often find one if you encounter a lot of other players or frequently loot chests, as it’s a relatively common drop compared to legendary and mythic-grade weapons. Similarly, if someone else got lucky and found, you can defeat the min combat and quickly pick up their laser rifle to take it for yourself.

Alternatively, you can also talk to the T-60 Power Armor NPC between the Nitrodrome and Mount Olympus. You’ll spot the character in a small shack, where they’ll sell you the Tri-Beam laser rifle for 300 gold bars. If you have enough gold bars on you, you can buy the gun to use it instantly, allowing you to get started on your quests early on. Just be careful while doing this, as you might find other players also trying to get the rifle.

Once you get your hands on the Tri-Beam laser rifle, you can use it to complete weekly quests, progress through seasonal missions, or try something new. While the gun doesn’t boast any special abilities, it has unlimited ammo and decently high damage, making it a good option throughout most of your match.
